I am finding my Antec 900 is becoming a bit cramped for my liking with my water cooling setup and components, cables etc. and would like to get a replacement case that is very very very large as well as providing great cooling with plenty of room for fans as well as enough room for a large water setup, also so that when I proceed with future updates, I can do so without me having to worry if bits and bobs will fit in.

I am currently considering the following upcoming cases.

Lian Li PC-P80
Antec 1200
Cosmos S

Can anyone recommend these cases from reviews? Or any other current or future releases of a very very large size with enough room and good airflow? It can be the size of a small house and I am not concerned in the slightest about my set up being silent, as long as their is lots of room and it is nice and cool. It can be as loud as a jet engine as long as it does what I need it to do in games and can hold my hardware.

+1 for the armour+, slip some decent fans in there and you'll soon have a cool case, it's massive too. I hear the water cooled version isn't too good though, but you can upgrade the non-water version at a later date if you find you need/want to. Obviously using your own water cooling will probably be best as you already know it works. :P

well done, there are almost no lights in it, far less than most cases, FAR less visible light than the Antec 900 he already has so you really don't have a point there.

tis the best case i've seen bar none.

Firstly aluminium, i can understand a chick wanting a alu case as its a bit lighter, but generally its crap. It makes no cooling difference in the slightest however the much larger weight of panels in a steel case does a heck of a lot towards damping vibrations and killing noise. same case in steel or alu i guarentee the steel case will be quieter. Either way the TT armour is freaking sweet, its pretty good value, huge, incredibly easy to work with, very easy to get wires out the way if thats your thing, sideways mounting drives(why antec introduced the feature years ago and randomly doesn't bother to use it i have no clue, my antec 900 would be so much better with the drives out the way of long gfx cards and psu cabling area). The hard drive clips/mounting trays is the best i've seen to date, and 5.25 stuff clips in easily. the pci-e clips aren't fantastic, but aren't awful either and made no difference as i used screws for the 3870x2 without issue. Very quiet, and very cool, quieter still and silent infact with a fan controller added.

Buy all the fancy aluminium overpriced tower cases that waste money left right and centre on brushed aluminium and useless features. My case is under the desk i don't care if its small or huge, but huge means stupidly easy to install a new system and work without the little issues. I was even a little irritated that TT got rid of their own water tube holes around the case they had in previous models. the two holes right at the top wouldn't have worked for me. but when i got it i found, not advertised, precut holes that would just need the metal pushed out for tubing holes in the base and two more near pci-e slots as standard.

Only issue is 140mm fan mount options all over but, as far as i can tell, TT don't have their 140mm fans available anywhere which makes it a bit pointless at the moment.
